10/10 Small Group Cruise - We did the evening boat tour and I could not recommend it enough. The boat was smaller so we could go to some of the smaller canals that the larger boats could not access. The boat was so pretty and comfortable and everyone was so friendly. It was pouring rain so we had to have the top cover on but it was clear and the captain kept it open as much as possible on the sides so we still had an excellent view. The rain actually made it more magical! 10/10 recommend this tour.

Best 1.30 in Ams - Such a nice time with super friendly captain. I think I made the right choice to choose a small boat tour over a larger, better known tours. Best 1.30 hours in Amsterdam, highly recommend it.
(Was really worried about the rain but the boat has a roof for the bad whether)
큰 회사들 보다 소규모 그룹이라 훨씬 좋아요. 리뷰 진짜 안남기는데 운전하시는 분도 너무 친절하고 좋아서 잘 되셨으면 해서 리뷰 씁니당. 암스테르담 오면 꼭 타세요

Beautiful boat trip at sunset 😍 - The Amsterdam Evening Boat Tour was simply magical!!! We were given a very warm welcome and came into contact with the other participants straight away. Everyone was super nice!
The boat was very comfortable and with a maximum of 12 people it is much nicer than all the tourist mass offers that you can usually find in Amsterdam. During the trip we were told a lot of exciting things about Amsterdam, as well as lots of little and funny facts about the city. There was a great selection of drinks, and you can also bring your own snacks and drinks. Very practical and unfortunately often forbidden. I can recommend the Amsterdam Evening Boat Tour to anyone who just wants to have a little break and experience Amsterdam from a completely different perspective! The view from the water is simply beautiful, especially at sunset and with all the lights when it slowly gets dark! 😍😍😍

A great way to spend an evening in Amsterdam! - Our family turned out to be the only passengers on this evening tour and it made it just like a private tour. It was a little chilly but there were blankets and Jamie, our captain, gave us a great tour of the canals, with lots of info about Amsterdam, the canals and lots of buildings that we hadn’t even noticed while walking around for the past few days. We found it to be relaxing and peaceful and a lovely way to watch the evening roll in. And no question that we asked went unanswered. Thank you guys so much for a great last evening in your beautiful city!

Great experience! - Jamie was the best! We’re so glad that we booked this canal tour. We wanted more of a personal experience with a smaller boat and got exactly that. Also, having the option to have an open top with great weather and having a covered top when rainy, didn’t take away from the experience; but it kept us dry and comfortable. We loved all the information that we learned and look forward to coming back!

A great experience - I was staying in Waterlooplein and found this company which picked up closer to where I was staying than some of the other operators and I am so glad I ended up booking.
This was my first trip to Amsterdam; arriving early evening I wanted to do something that made me feel immersed in the city and feel like I'd managed to see a good deal with the limited time I had on my first day. A canal cruise was the perfect way to achieve that. Captain Jamie was very welcoming and knowledgeable, mixing interesting facts about the areas we visited with nice quieter moments to just enjoy and take in what was a lovely evening cruise.
I was a bit worried as the only solo traveller on the boat that I'd feel a little out of place, but I didn't feel uncomfortable at all and with it being a smaller boat, the conversations were inclusive and everyone was very lovely. The other perk of it being a smaller boat was being able to go through some quieter areas of the canals. I would definitely recommend this company in you're visiting Amsterdam!
